You better get used to these stories because every potential director in Hollywood has an opinion on the matter. Earlier today, we reported that Man of Steel and Watchmen director Zack Snyder denied wanting to sit in the director's chair for Star Wars: Episode VII. Now two more high profile directors have already said they're not interested.

Realized I never posted this here, so I copy/pasted from the Facebook discussion I was involved in on this topic:

With Joss already in the Disney family & other marquee directors turning this down (or at least expressing disinterest), I think this is the best possible outcome.

Realistically, prolly not gonna happen because Joss has his hadns way too full with Marvel stuff, but a guy can dream.
